Teachers, engage and amaze your students. Here you'll find videos,
tools and revealing hands-on activities for students in grades 4
through 6 to help reinvent your science class. New, original
experiments with intuitive directions, materials lists and home
extensions. Get started today.

The Siemens Foundation and Discovery Education have unveiled a
new web site that aims to engage students in science education.
“Siemens Science Day” provides standards-based videos and hands-on
activities for earth, life, and physical science that can help
educators turn fourth through sixth graders into aspiring scientists,
the two organizations say. “Educators are often challenged to find new
ways within their existing curriculum to interest students in science
education,” said Dale Fulton, Discovery Education’s senior vice
president of curriculum development. “Siemens Science Day provides many
new and creative ways to present lessons on a variety of science
topics, all tied to national science standards. In addition, each
activity invites student involvement, engaging students in the learning
process.” Each activity on the web site includes step-by-step
directions for in-class use, a materials list, at-home extensions that
promote learning beyond the classroom, and related video clips. More
activities will be added to the web site in the coming months, its
organizers say—creating a rich database of science experiments and
demonstrations that help students learn by doing.
